Three Rivers board approves REMC audio upgrade, closes recreation account and adopts routine financial and administrative measures

The Three Rivers Community Schools Board of Education on July 14 approved an REMC bid to modernize failing public-address systems and convert them to a phased building response system, and approved a string of routine fiscal and administrative actions.

John Londono, the district’s Director of Technology, presented the REMC bid for an Audio Enhancement Project that the board approved 5-0 on a motion by Member Ross Daniels with support from Member Linda Baker. The presentation noted the work would be completed in manageable phases over the district’s Series 3 bond cycle.

The board also approved a resolution to close the Three Rivers Recreation Commission depository account at Horizon Bank and transfer the remaining $17,708.71 to the district’s General Fund (motion by Member Julia Awe, supported by Member Ross Daniels), and designated banks for investments, appointed the Director of Finance & Business as the Electronic Transfer Officer, retained Thrun Law Firm, P.C. for personnel and contractual matters, and appointed Gabridge & Company as the district’s auditors for the 2024–25 annual audit. All votes on those items were recorded as unanimous, 5-0.

The consent agenda — adopted 5-0 — included approval of prior minutes, a payroll change register, an accounts payable check register totaling $1,475,246.43, a bond invoice payment report totaling $569,793.15, and a staff non-FMLA leave request. President Erin Nowak reviewed the board calendar, and the meeting adjourned at 6:51 p.m.
